One of my co workers has one called Falki. He is a very friendly dog,very focused and seems to be excelling in Treibball and picking it up easily. I have been watching him and met him a few times and he seems to be very owner focused and driven, looks like he is aiming to please her. He isn't shy. He seems to have a high energy level too, but hes well trained also so I have seen he has an off switch. Hes the only one I have met so far, but hes a very charming dog.

There is one in the agility club I belong to. She seems sweet with people, and is wonderful with other dogs. But holy cow, I have never heard a dog bark like that. Shelties, schnauzers - they have nothing on this dog. I believe she was debarked at one point, but it almost totally healed. Maybe a bit quieter, but not a whole lot.

Yes, the first thing I looked for was the breed club. I'm just really hoping for some personal experiences which seem to be few and far between. I've also contacted 4 or 5 breeders to get their opinions and experiences. It would be really cool if this breed was a good enough fit to add as my 2nd dog :]

I've only ever met two, one was at a Herding event, only got to take a couple photo's before she put him away and got out her Afghan hound to socialize, and a 6 month old at a bigger dog show, who was a crazy silly girl, her owners said she really liked to climb all over the back of the furniture, she was really adorable. I find them fascinating (another "dew" breed), but way to much coat on most of them for me.

I've only ever met one, and she was on a horse farm in Iceland. She was a neat little dog, friendly with anyone who was on the farm, without being obnoxious about it. Beyond that, I didn't actually really see her work.
